Know Your Filament

Maybe for the next post about filaments, a brief explanation of the different aspects of strength as shown in the following screenshot taken from the filament guides

Many users simply believe one type of filament is “stronger” than another, without being aware of the different aspects of strength, ie. stronger on what aspects.

I’m curious about the first picture. It looks like spools of 60mm wide coloured ribbons and not filaments.

The COBOL days: gem paper and ribbon printers…

That’s what you get when your AI does not “Know Your Filament,” and neither do you.

That is hilarious! I totally looked past that as I read the post.

Maybe they didn’t certify that photo as real? I mean, trying to get by with renders to show a product? Pretty soon they’ll have everybody using renders to show off “models”. :joy::rofl::joy:

I took it as artistic license. If you zoom in it looks like regular string filament on the spools to me, And then the “emphasised” shadows have been color matched. (or the whole thing has been colorized).

Edit: or it’s new filament for feeding a 30 nozzle print farm, the strings are seperated at the ends and as they feed they split apart like twizzlers.
